For filling, in a small bowl, beat the cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and extract; beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in food coloring if desired. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with filling. Top with second cake layer.

For icing, in a small bowl, combine the cooled chocolate, sour cream and vanilla. Spread over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.Yield: 16 servings.

"The cake is good. Added more mint extract to filling and icing. Used different icing, cause is a little strange."

"This cake was delicious and pleased my daughter who doesn't like most chocolate desserts, but likes chocolate mint. I found it difficult to frost the sides with the mint filling. Maybe I would not spread the filling to the edges next time. I also didn't have enough frosting to cover the sides. I thought it was pretty to be able to see the mint layer and didn't want to add calories, so I left it."

"I didn't have any mint, so I made this with orange extract. The combination of chocolate and orange was a huge hit with my family. I thought the frosting was delicious and the perfect consistency and amount. This was delicious!"

"It may have been the extract I used but I ended up adding creme de menthe to add more flavor to the filling. Everything else was great!"

"I found the cake to be on the dry side. Wonder what it would do to use applesauce instead of the prunes to help make it more moist I doubled the frosting recipe, was alittle too much, but one would not have gone all over the cake."

"Overall, the cake was very good. Moist and I liked the mint. I did fine the frosting a little weird. I followed the instructions, however I tend to think a little less sour cream would make the frosting a little less tangy. The nice thing too, you can change the mint to another flavor if people are not mint fans."

"Yuck! The cakes themselves were good and the filling wasn't bad, but needed more mint flavor. The icing was weird."

"To further lighten this recipe and make it quicker and easier to put together, I would consider using light or fat free non-dairy topping (Cool Whip). Even as written-283 calories isn't bad for a decadent and rich dessert! There really isn't enough icing to do the top and sides very well, so I would recommend just frosting the top. It is still pretty."
